National Park – On the Road with Dan & Amy

Big Bend National Park

After leaving our friends in Lubbock, TX, we headed south to visit Big Bend National Park. This would be our first visit to Big Bend and we were looking forward to doing some hiking and seeing the sights. We did not get a campsite within the park, so we stayed at a small, but well reviewed, RV park in Terlingua, just outside the northwest border of the park.

August in Maine

As July turned into August, an emergency with the grandkids caused us to make an unplanned trip to Rochester, NY. Our daughter has had a few emergencies since we’ve been on the road and this was the first time we could easily respond in person as we knew the RV would be safe and sound in Becky’s yard. Both grandkids had a bout of RSV, the older being hospitalized as a result. We got tons of quality time with 7 month old Willa as both parents stayed with Leo. This quality time included contracting the RSV virus and putting us both under the weather. It was a small price to pay help our daughter through a rough time.

Everglades National Park

Over a year ago, before the pandemic hit, we scheduled an 8-night stay in Everglades National Park. So, we left our friends in Chiefland, FL and made the long 9 hour drive to the park on January 25th to return on the 2nd of February. We made the most of our time riding bikes, kayaking and taking lots of pictures. We even took a day trip to Key West. Here are some of the highlights of our week.

Theodore Roosevelt NP

We left the Glacier National Park area and made several stops working our way across the big state of Montana. Our next milestone location was Theodore Roosevelt National Park but we had some interesting times on our way there.

Glacier National Park

Our previous post covered our visits to three national parks located in the Rocky Mountains. This post will cover the final national park in this mountain range, Glacier National Park. Before we get to the highlights of our stay in the area of the park, we need to cover our journey getting there.
